Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Long Night XIV

Athena heaved in and out repeatedly, watching the wall through which Morgan had just disappeared, wondering if any of her shots had hit the mark. It had to.

"Did you get him?"

She didn’t turn when she heard Ewan’s question as he came to stand beside her, nor did she give a firm answer to his inquiry. Instead, she asked, "How did you know there was a secret room behind the wall?"

Athena had been trying to balance on her heels while aiming for the perfect shot as she watched Morgan stick to the wall like glue. If she had been perceptive enough about his intentions, she would have just shot him. There was no way he would have survived it.

But to be honest, she hadn’t wanted to kill him then. She had just wanted to incapacitate him so that he would be ripe for questioning. Somuchforthatnow.

"His movements on the wall had been suspicious. I just figured, since this whole place was wrapped in secret doors, that must be it."

Athena pressed her lips tightly at Ewan’s reply, uncertain what to make of it. He seemed to be oddly aware of many things tonight.

However, she wished she had noticed too; that she had focused on Morgan’s erratic movements—she had thought he was behaving weirdly because of the gas—rather than on getting the shot right.

"I guess thanks are in order again," She muttered, trying to decipher the pattern on the wall, but it was next to impossible with the smoke clouding the room, despite the special goggles she was wearing.

Ewan shrugged his shoulders. "If only you had gotten him though. Do you think any of your shot made the mark?"

"I am not sure," Athena replied truthfully. "But I never miss my mark, so I can only hope that I didn’t lose my stance when I heard your shout."

Ewan nodded slowly, not knowing what to say to that. An encouragement? He didn’t think she needed it. What she needed was a real-time assessment of Morgan’s condition.

"Do you want to pursue him? I can try to open the wall... who knows, I might be lucky again..."

Athena pursed her lips, contemplating this suggestion. Pursuing Morgan didn’t seem like a bad idea; there was a high chance he was wounded terribly, so he couldn’t have gone far. But she also had to consider the people with her. Hadn’t Morgan talked about a massacre outside?
